Revised to reflect changes made in DSM-IV as they pertain to
childhood psychiatric disorders, this updated DSM-IV Training Guide
for Diagnosis of Childhood Disorders provides specific instructions
for optimally using the DSM-IV. This meticulously researched
companion guide will provide welcome clarification and definition
of the terms and concepts included in the DSM-IV criteria for
disorders pertaining specifically to children and adolescents. The
volume encompasses both psychopathology specific to infancy,
childhood, and adolescence and other psychiatric disorders, such as
Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Depression, and
Schizophrenia, that are more common as adult disorders by may
appear in childhood. While the diagnostic criteria for these are
largely the same for children and adults, there are differences
that emerge when making differential diagnosis of these disorders
for children, as illuminated in the Training Guide. This companion
guide focuses on the manifestation of various disorders,
differentiation among syndromes, and qualify of characteristics.
Numerous and vivid case vignettes clearly illustrate clinical
symptoms and demonstrate the application of diagnostic guidelines.
The book highlights the multiaxial approach of DSM as a means of
assessing the child from a variety of perspectives including
exogenous factors influencing development, sources of a particular
disorder, and the child's innate limitations and capabilities.
Diagnostic criteria and main features of specific disorders are
highlighted in numerous tables and figures interspersed throughout
the volume. Most importantly, the Guide highlights the "gray areas"
of diagnosis with the hope that increased clinical awareness and
record keeping will lead to more accurate classification - and
ultimately superior treatment - in the future. The DSM-IV Training
Guide for Diagnosis of Childhood Disorders will serve clinicians
well in the sometimes difficult and subjective quest for the
appropriate diagnosis, treatment, and management of children and
adolescents with psychiatric disorders. It will also serve to
promote the kind of dialogue and research that will lead to even
greater diagnostic consensus among practitioners and encourage a
more reliable and valid diagnostic practice in the future.
